Yes, but is it really so common that you need to know if the directory is part of a working copy? Usually either you already know, or it's unnecessary to know. Apart from that it's trivial to find out using "hg root" etc. In contrast, those .svn directories are a pain to work with when copying or moving stuff, either out of a working copy (they are overlooked) or between working copies (svn says strange things when you try to do "svn add"). Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
